How to Slay in Ladylike Street Style

Dear youngsters,

It is now the fifth week I am spending in Athens, having started a job at a great Digital Marketing Group. It’s all very new to me at this point and I haven’t quite realised how quickly I’ve adjusted to this new lifestyle. In the meantime, my birthday just passed a week ago and by now I am officially a 22-year-old. I am on my way to adulthood but still remain a kid in my heart and soul.

This year I was lucky enough to realise that the whole process of growing up should represent a starting point with regards to our goals for the year (something like the New Year’s resolutions). So, I wrote down my personal goals and ambitions, what I would ideally want to achieve until I turn 23. And fingers crossed, I believe that most of these aspirations will make their entrance into reality. As long as I stay focused and keep my childish excitement, I have the power to actually transform my dreams into reality.

With all these in mind, I move forward with my latest post, which took place a while ago in my beautiful hometown in the historic area of Ladadika, Thessaloniki (which I truly miss-yes, I’m a bit homesick). I would like to present you a couple of awesome pieces you can combine to make an extravagant street stylish outfit with a ladylike character that slays.

Starting with the latest trend in 2016, the choker shirts are a must. They add that extra stylish bit that’s essential for a ladylike outfit. I also love the deep neckline that’s associated with the particular piece. In addition, a high waist old school pair of denim breaks the formal tone, giving a more street stylish vibe. A fedora hat complements the outfit, adding a bohemian glimpse while the leopard print – and personal favourite – wristlet, is the ultimate playful pop of colour.

Those who know me well are aware that I am not a particular fan of stilettos. It’s not that I am not fond of them; I just have a hard time walking in them. I need to assure you however that this particular pair is very comfy and the colour is very neutral – almost nude pink. The combinations you can create are endless and through this key piece, you will surely look elegant and neat.

Please provide me with your valuable feedback so that I can trigger my creative juices in the short-run to produce even cooler content.

I wish you all a fabulous start to the week!

Cheers peeps,
